We take a keen interest in issues that affect the whole Evanston community

No neighborhood is an island. What happens in Southeast Evanston affects Evanston, and events throughout Evanston affect us, too.

SEA keeps a watchful eye on the City Council and its committees and commissions and an interested eye on other neighborhood, commercial, and civic activities relating to all aspects of life in Evanston. We will try to keep you informed on programs, meetings, and developments of interest to all of us and help useful information flow in all directions.
